Moodle in English: Template losing structure

Template losing structure

by Arnold Chiringa - Saturday, October 8, 2011, 10:55 PM

How are you all,

I am currently running a Moodle 2.0.4+ installation on my linux installation, that is running an Apache 2.2.20 webserver, php version 5.2.9, mysql version 5.0.92. I am using the Aardvark Makeover theme by Mary Evans with a few changes.

From time to time while using the site, the site losses its structure and the only way to get the look of the site back is by clearing the cache. The website has the following look:

The site looks like this when it has lost its structure:

The logo and the main links are lost.

the url to my site is:

www.driafrica.org/new/virtualschool/

Can anyone help me with this problem so my site can retain its structure in any browser.

Thank you

Arnold

Hi

This could happen if the server or the network is underpowered.

Could you provide the other background information mentioned in the introduction to this forum? I mean the hardware - real or virtual.

If you can reproduce this, the issue could be in the theme. Did you try changing to simple standard theme? You have to follow up that line in the "Themes" forum

Is it correct? Are you the owner of the domain? http://www.driafrica.org/ looks like a domain squatters prey to me.

Thank you Visvanath,

I am not sure if the hardware is real or virtual, will make an effort to check. The url I gave you is to the test site, this was so that you could see the problem. I am the webmaster for the organisation that owns the domain. The site is being hosted by an ISP so that's why I did not include some of the other information.

What can be done to solve this problem?

Hi

You didn't provide any new information in your second posting. Therefore I can only repeat myself:

If you still suspect this is a performance issue, then:

Or, if you think the theme is the problem:
